My Buddy

[carptom1]

So back on April 1st I had to part ways with my awesome hunting partner. My sister-in-law, knowing how devastated I was with this occurrence commissioned a local artist to do an oil painting of him. You will notice the notch out of his tongue. He bit through it while hunting one time. I took him to an emergency vet, but he said there was little he could do. It never seemed to bother him and was part of his character. I find myself missing him even though I have a new puppy that is making strides.

That's a great and generous gift and a wonderful reminder. We never forget the ones that have gone before. Happy you have that.

Buddy was truly one of a kind - nice to have a painting of him! Our dogs tangled sometimes, but were quite a pair in the field. Let's get together again this fall, OK?

I morned the loss of my dog, more than the loss of my dad.

Thanks guys. My sister in law is the best. She is one of the kindest people I know. As life is getting shorter I realize now how much I need to simplify my life and focus on what is important
